Horseshoe Beach Cafe: Burgers and Dogs at Horseshoe

by 850prc

We spent a morning and early afternoon out at Horseshoe Bay Beach, on Bermuda's south coast. When it came time for lunch, we went up to the little Horseshoe Beach "cafe", which was really just a fast food stand. We'd picked an EXCELLENT day to come to Horseshoe. Based on the advice our our b&b hosts, we came on a day when there were ZERO cruise ships docked anywhere in Bermuda. Boat people tend to flock to Horseshoe and the other Bermuda beaches, inundating them with humanity. So, being at Horseshoe on a down day was great. We had a chance to chat with the guys and gals running the cafe, and they were so friendly and charming. They seemed to really like us because we WEREN'T cruisers.Nothing special about the food here, it's simple and well prepared. Price is higher than you'd ever pay back home, but not bad for Bermuda. And, this is the kind of place where you go sit out back on a patio...

The Pickled Onion: Great Front Street Pub

by 850prc

Didn't actually eat here, but a family staying at our bed and breakfast said it was a good choice. Harry and Marlie Powell, owners of the b&b, also recommend the Onion.Checking its menu and prices, it seems to have a lot in common with the Hog Penny, food-wise. However, it does turn more into a rock and roll joint in the evenings. So, if pub food is what you want, and then you want to cut loose a bit, maybe you should try the Pickled Onion instead of the Hog Penny. Both have been part of the Hamilton scene for a while.

The Hog Penny Pub: Hogging pub history in Hamilton

by 850prc

The Hog Penny is one of Hamilton's historic pubs. They've been serving happy customers for about fifty years, which means that they were here and cooking back when I lived in Bermuda. Being a little kid, I didn't hang out in pubs much, though.The Hog Penny name comes from original coins used in Bermuda that were called Hogges or Hog Pennies. They had a picture of a hog on them, hence "The Hog Penny". Sometime I wish America would go back to putting buffalos or hogs or whatever on OUR money. I'm kind of tired of politicians. :)The Penny has a nice beer menu and serves up tall schooners of Brit beer, along with quite a few of the local rum specialities. Their food is quintessential British pub food, and it's "smashing", to borrow a phrase from the Poms. :) Unlike some of the other pubs, the Hog Penny is less raucous and more reserved. On some evenings, they'll have a guitar duo adding...

Flanagan's Irish Pub: "Kind of" an Irish Pub in Hamilton

by 850prc

Located in downtown Hamilton, in a second story abode at 69 Front Street, Flanagan's advertises itself as Bermuda's only IRISH pub. I can't vouch for the complete truth of that statement, and I'm not totally sure Flanagan's is a genuine IRISH pub. Sure, it's got plenty of shamrocks and Irish-themed food and drinks. But, then again, so does the Bennigan's chain in America. :) But...Flanagan's is pretty good for a quick bit or a light meal. Drinks are decent as well, along with a good selection of beers. The BEST thing about Flanagans is that it has more extended hours, even on Sunday, than do some other establishments in Hamilton. If you're in the mood for a food snack at 2:30 pm, Flanagan's is your ticket.For some reason, the folks who owned the B&B we stayed at did NOT care for Flanagans. I think they felt that it was less of a pub and more of a thumping music club. That could be true...

Bouchee: Classy without being stuffy

by 850prc

I'll go ahead and label Bouchee as "French" because that's what THEY say in the Free "Key to Bermuda Restaurants" guide. And, I guess Bouchee does SOUND French.But, I'd say it's more a local place, as they include a lot of local seafood options for dinner. Perhaps they do add a bit of continental flair to presentation, but in reality, it's quite understated. And, I'd say that Bouchee also has a little Caribbean flair to their recipes as well. It's just a good place to eat. They are especially proud to state that Bouchee is "100% Bermudian owned and operated".Dress at Bouchee is "Smart Casual", meaning that you don't wear shorts at dinner time, or jeans at any time. Thankfully, like MOST Bermuda places now, ::I:: didn't have to wear a jacket.NOTE... this restaurant used to be called Monty's and THAT was a long-time Hamilton eatery. Based on past and present information I've checked...

M.R. Onions: One of the best known local dine-out!! U missed it

by Jus_desireable

Hands down one of the most popular eating establishments locals love to go to.The staff and owners are very laid back and friendly. Some might say a little too friendly but that is why most people make this a gathering place. - Sorry as of April 2008 this fav local haunt closed its doors for ever.. I'll be updating more so keep a look out for some new places to visit. Seafood,especially the losbter therminador. A tad pricey but way better than at most of Bermuda's more upscaled and well-known restaurants.

White Horse Tavern: Dont go without coming here

by Jus_desireable

In St.George, visit White Horse Tavern, conventiently on the square. You can stop for lunch or dinner, after visiting the model of the Deliverance that started the population and popularity of Bermuda. Fish is excellent here.

Swizzle Inn: Leave something for next time!

by airkarat

'Bermuda's oldest pub and restaurant and home of the rum swizzle'.Outdoor patios on two levels.Non smoking / kids welcome.Live entertainment all summer.'Swizzle Inn, Swagger Out'The 'wallpaper' in this restaurant is actually the hand-written scribblings of generations of past patrons. I wouldn't say there's any room left on the walls but you may also record your thoughts in the guestbooks (or look in past ones for evidence of the earlier YOU). I've only eaten there twice and for lunch - but do try their fish chowder with a shot of Black Seal rum.
